Thanks to Raj Sheelvant’s blog I learned about the article titled Ten imperatives for midmarket IT strategy in 2009.
I suggest you read that article. It provides very good points.
I strongly agree with imperative #10: Review your strategic plan. It is boring. And painful. But will give you a great high-level view of what’s coming, what projects should continue and should be put on hold.
Also, imperative #8 Ensure strong governance, follows the same pattern as #10, being both un-exciting and tedious, but completing this step will provide great clarity and a high return on the time and effort invested.
I have to recognize that imperatives #4 Don’t forget risk (it is NOT about what you probably are thinking) and #5 Figure out compliance where not in my short list of things to do next year.
What about you? What do you take from these ten imperatives? Which of these will you implement first?
